Wheat is one of the major Rabi crops in Maharashtra, cultivated under diverse sowing windows and varying climatic conditions. To meet the needs of farmers across these production environments, improved wheat varieties have been developed for specific sowing conditions and agro-climatic zones of the state. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research–Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (ICAR-IIWBR), in collaboration with State Agricultural Universities and All India Coordinated Wheat and Barley Improvement (AICRP) Centres, has played a pivotal role in this process. These improved varieties not only enhance adaptability and resilience but also ensure higher productivity, making them particularly useful for adoption in the upcoming Rabi season by the farmers of Maharashtra.
